Dr. Voltz

An inventor / "some inventor type" who builds subservient women assembled from corpses — the stitched "twelve-women" tea-party maiden of The Snatcher's Cave is his work. He left her at the cave "for collection," to be picked up "on the next time it passes through," and controls his creations by a hidden verbal command-phrase / activation structure (without it, even Thunt could only get the woman to repeat her wind-up lines and follow gentle guidance). He creeps out Thunt — no small thing for a man who calls himself God — who flatly judges the work evil: "You think to assemble a woman, make it subservient and follow commands, is good in any respect?"

Named only secondhand in Session 43 (by Thunt), and rendered "Victor," "Vector," "Dr. Voltz" and "Dr. Voltz" in one breath — spelling and identity wide open. Unmet so far, but a clear future villain thread.

Session 43 (named)

• Identified by Thunt as the maker of the stitched tea-party woman, left at the cave for collection; Thunt suggests the party could return her to him for a reward, then makes plain he finds the man repellent.
• The party declines to hand her back, sparing her (Rusty's price) and guiding her somewhere quiet instead — leaving Voltz, and his other "creations," for later.

Session 44 (a possible northern lead)

• A name on the map. Studying Fenric's annotated war map, Thalia points at a marked "lightning blood scientist" to the north and wonders aloud if it's "Dr. Vector Volt" — i.e. this inventor. Eldrich the Elder doesn't recognize the name, and the annotation is the party's own guess, not confirmation; but it plants Voltz as a possible figure on the road north toward the Menaggles.
